The novel imagines what sorts of dreams Einstein might have had while working on the theory of general relativity. In these dreams, time takes on varied and fantastic forms. In some, time runs backwards: in others, it depends on a person's perception, location or mood. Highly inventive and reminiscent of Borges' and Cortazar's surreal short stories, these stories trace the way that our lives and interactions are shaped by our perception of time.
